U.S. News Insider Tip: Looking for a cold one or some sustenance steps off the sand? Stroll a short way north of the beach's northernmost access to the Sandbar Grill at the Sun Tower Hotel & Suites for beer, wine, good service and tasty eats. – Chelle Koster Walton, Contributor, Travel Want a beautiful Florida beach without a crazy party scene? Fort Lauderdale Beach may be just what you're looking for. Here you will find a calmer and less chaotic version of Miami Beach – but with the same sugary sands and crystal-clear water. There are still parties, but you're more likely to find families relaxing or leisurely walking the waterline than raucous groups of college kids. Backing the shoreline, the town's signature wavy white divider separates the sand from a promenade that bustles with residents and resort guests jogging and strolling. A string of breaks in the thigh-high wall allows entry onto the beach at crossroads. Recent visitors loved Fort Lauderdale Beach for its wide, expansive shoreline, with some noting that even when there were a lot of people, it didn't feel crowded. Many were also impressed with how clean the beach is, adding that its calm waters make it a great place to bring kids. There is no charge to enter the beach, but street parking will cost you $4 per hour between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. (with a six-hour maximum). LauderGO! Community Shuttle trolley's Las Olas Link and Beach Link routes also stop by the beach, or you can take the No. 11 or 40 bus to one of the stops along North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard. Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park and hotels, such as the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, are within walking distance as well. The beach welcomes visitors 24 hours a day. To learn more, check out the City of Fort Lauderdale's website.
